So time passed and things changed in Daniel's life, little things and big things. Bruises, cuts, and scrapes faded, work went on in the diner. Pies were made and made and made some more. It turned out that Robb loved baking pies with Mama Sasy. Daniel worked with Boddy, learning more and more about all the foods that were on the menu. Jeff and Benny worked in the front of the diner (and Franklin, when he got home from the garage). There was a comfortable routine that formed with them all working and getting to know each other. Daniel enjoyed the time spent with Benny the most.

They made several trips out to the picnic table to have a little alone time. A few times they worked to get each other off, but they often just sat, embracing, and talked about their plans. Daniel was getting much more comfortable thinking about his dad and asking him for help with what he planned for the future. He found that he was eager to see Nick when he came in and gravitated toward him. They talked about Nick's plans for Benny, how the apartment was progressing. He and Benny had talked to him about making another bedroom for the other couple. Everyone considered the apartment temporary for anyone staying there. It was to be a transition place for those going from Mama Sasy's on to the next stage of their life plan.

Nick reported that things were moving swiftly, and it would be ready soon for them to come help in choosing the furniture and helping design the areas to best fit their needs. Daniel thought it would be a good undertaking for all of them to participate in, so he asked Jeff, Robb, Benny, and Franklin to join him and his father for a big meal and a planning session.

This was the first time that he'd had a big meal in his former home, and when they all piled into the kitchen after leaving coats and jackets in the front hall, he felt a sense of homecoming that had been missing until this moment. He felt tears sting his eyes as he realized that he had reached that place in his heart that he had worried he'd never find again. He had forgiven his father, now understood the pain his dad went through, and accepted his own role in the debacle that was that night. If he'd stayed for just a little while, confronted his father, and tried to talk to him, his life would have been so different. They had both made mistakes and he felt like it was time for a new life, a happier life.

His dad looked at him, and Daniel felt like Nick had read his mind. He opened his arms and right there in front of all his pals, he went into his father's embrace and it felt good. They were both on the way to healing. He could feel his father's heartbeat against his chest and hear the other guys talking quietly, leaving them to their reunion.
